I went to Taco Bell last night after small group because Liz needed me to bring her some food and she requested french fries. I couldn’t just give my fiance trans-fats cause the city of New York thinks that’s a bad idea. So I went to Taco Bell to pick her up a bean burrito with no onions or red sauce. While I was there I also picked up a crunch wrap for myself. The lady at the register was pretty nice and after she rang my order she immediately put on some gloves before she started making my food. Then I noticed all the other workers behind the counter. Not a single one of them were wearing gloves. I thought about saying something, but decided against it.

If you haven’t read The Alphabet of Manliness, maybe you should. I’ll come right out and say there is some offensive material in the book, but other than that it’s hilarious. Ok, no more beating around the bush. This morning I gave myself a haircut which involves me shaving my head. When I got to work I realized I had missed a spot on the back of my head. If you’ve ever seen a shaved head with a missed spot, you’ll know how weird it looks. I had to do something, right? Well I just pulled out my razor-sharp knife (cause who carries a dull knife? seriously) and took care of it. EAT YOUR HEART OUT CROCODILE DUNDEE!
That’s a quote I read a while back in Ann Lamott’s book Traveling Mercies. It made total sense to me. Everybody I can think of, who I consider to be spiritual, has gone through something tough of one sort or another. Some have gone through multiple trials and hardships. Once I made the observation that all of my good friends who I consider to be deep, well-rooted people have all gone through something tough. Sure it wasn’t easy, but these people have all come through on the other side as better people. That’s not to say they made it through unscathed, but they did make it through. I think there’s something to be said for weathering a storm. Nobody ever likes going through these kinds of situations, but I know the ones I’ve experienced have definitely shaped me into the person I am today.
After a long absence from White Feather Farms, I finally made it back this weekend. I even got myself a little loss in the process of getting there. The bright side is that I now know downtown Muncie a little better, and I have some good cheese in my fridge.
They have an amazing new cheddar called McAdams that’s under $3/lb. I’ve never tasted something that good and that cheap. Had to pick some up. I’m also trying out fontinella. It’s a grating cheese I’ve never used before. Other than that, I picked up some muenster, colby jack and remembered to get some babybels.
Liz sent me this link. All I could say was, “Holy Swiss Cheese Batman!!!!”. This is huge. Super huge. I’m sure many of my readers aren’t as geeky as me when it comes to Tolkien literature, but I’m super stoked now.
If you liked the movies you definitely have to read the books. If you’re read Lord of the Rings, you need to read The Hobbit. If you’ve done that, then you need to tackle The Silmarillion. If you got that under your belt, then you need to check out some of Tolkien’s other literature like Farmer Giles of Ham, Roverandom and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In my opinion, Tolkien is one of the great literary treasures to come out of the 20th century.
Stay away from it! It’s the devil! If you have version 6, stick with it. I recently downloaded 7 at home and now nothing works. I get no audio whatsoever from iTunes or Quicktime. I knew it wasn’t a “sound” problem with my computer because I could still play stuff fine from Windows Media Player, Winamp, VLC player, etc. Just Quicktime stuff. I also checked the information highway and found out plenty of other people are having the same problem. So beware.
Much more so than Cleveland in fact. Even though they have a song about that, Cleveland doesn’t help you get into your apartment when you accidentally lock your keys inside. And for that same reason, I don’t make delicious food for Cleveland. Cleveland has to fend for itself.
It’s working. I’m finally making a breakthrough. The other day Liz and Robby were rug shopping for their office. When they found the perfect one can you guess what Liz said? Take a wild guess. Think you got it? I hope you picked the right answer.
Liz: This rug would really tie the room together.
I win. Liz wins. Donnie wins. Let’s go bowling.
I’ve been a staunch supporter of Norton Anti-Virus since 1997 I believe. It’s a good program. When I first started utilizing their services I didn’t have to pay money every single year to keep getting virus definition updates. A lot of times I had to re-build my computer and that would reset my 1 year subscription anyways. Well, that time came up once again and now they want $39.99 for a one year subscription and upgrade. Screw that. I am now the proud user of AVG. TJ here at work is always talking about how great it is so I decided to give it a try. One big bonus feature is that it’s free for personal/home use. That’s right folks. Free anti-virus software. Just because they’re cool and care about you.
I was watching The Royal Tenenbaums the other day and realized that Dudley Heinsbergen, the medical oddity being studied by Raleigh St. Clair(Bill Murray) is also Harris Trinsky from Freaks and Geeks.
